This was a deliberate show of force. They might want to argue they were there out of fear the meeting might turn violent, but their very presence absolutely served to highten tensions and likely contributed substantially to the conflict.<br /><br />And that's assuming the police acted in good faith, and didn't employ agent provocateurs and moles. At best their sense of judgement was sorely lacking in how they responded to their concerns over this meeting, and at worse they are directly responsible for setting off the violence, either deliberately or accidentally through secret manipulations and undercover actions.G.
